Has anyone investigated the possibility of disconnecting the motor from the
pickups on the wheels so it can be powered from the top plate without driving
other trains on the same track? Ideally one of the two top connections would
still connect to the wheels (so you could short it if you wanted the standard
behavior).
I'm thinking of building a switching car with a Scout in it which is commanded
by a (stationary) RCX. The Scout would drive around the switchyard to build
trains based on information sent via IR from the RCX. I've always wanted a
computer controlled train layout AND a LEGO train layout, so this is my
excuse! I'm sure going to be poor after buying all the track and switches I'll
need, though!

| Hi Ben J.! I have opened a 9V motor last year and taken pics of that on my homepage: if interested visit it under the URL: (URL) aim to do so was not the use of an rcx, but to convert the motor for use on 12V track. But I think my pictures may help (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
